An apparatus including a first part, the first part having at least one camera configured to capture images; a second part having at least one microphone configured to capture at least one audio signal, wherein one of the first part or second part is able to move relative to the other part and the apparatus including circuitry configured to: determine a parameter associated with the move; generate at least one output audio signal based on the parameter associated with the move and the at least one audio signal.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first part or the second part is configured to move relative to common reference point.
5. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first part further comprises at least one further microphone configured to capture at least one further audio signal, wherein the apparatus configured to generate the at least one output audio signal based on the parameter associated with the move and the at least one audio signal is configured to generate the at least one output audio signal further based on the at least one further audio signal.
6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein the apparatus configured to generate the at least one output audio signal further based on the at least one further audio signal is configured to align the at least one output audio signal and the at least one further audio signal based on the parameter associated with the move.
8. The apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein the apparatus configured to generate the at least one output audio signal further based on the parameter defining the arrangement of the at least three microphones and the parameter defining the orientation of the apparatus is configured to generate the at least one output audio signal for at least one frequency band based on the parameter defining the arrangement of the at least three microphones and the parameter defining the orientation of the apparatus.
9. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the apparatus configured to generate the at least one output audio signal based on the parameter associated with the move and the at least one audio signal is configured to align the at least one output audio signal based on the parameter associated with the move such that the at least one output audio signal is aligned with at least one camera data.
10. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the apparatus configured to generate the at least one output audio signal based on the parameter associated with the move and the at least one audio signal is further configured to analyse the at least one audio signal based on the parameter and a frequency band associated with the at least one audio signal.
11. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the apparatus configured to generate the at least one output audio signal based on the parameter associated with the move and the at least one audio signal is further configured to analyse at least one further audio signal based on the parameter and a frequency band associated with the at least one audio signal.
12. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the parameter comprises a rotation of the first part relative to the second part.
15. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the first part further comprises at least one further microphone configured to capture at least one further audio signal, wherein generating the at least one output audio signal based on the parameter associated with the move and the at least one audio signal comprises generating the at least one output audio signal further based on the at least one further audio signal.
16. The method as claimed in claim 15, wherein generating the at least one output audio signal further based on the at least one further audio signal comprises aligning the at least one output audio signal and the at least one further audio signal based on the parameter associated with the move.
18. The method as claimed in claim 17, wherein generating the at least one output audio signal further based on the parameter defining the arrangement of the at least three microphones and the parameter defining the orientation of the apparatus comprises generating the at least one output audio signal for at least one frequency band based on the parameter defining the arrangement of the at least three microphones and the parameter defining the orientation of the apparatus.
19. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein generating the at least one output audio signal based on the parameter associated with the move and the at least one audio signal comprises aligning the at least one output audio signal based on the parameter associated with the move such that the at least one output audio signal is aligned with at least one camera data.
20. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein generating the at least one output audio signal based on the parameter associated with the move and the at least one audio signal further comprises analysing the at least one audio signal based on the parameter and a frequency band associated with the at least one audio signal.
